Blockbreaker Laser Mech

Quickstart

Craft the mech at a crafting table:

Place it where there is room around and above it; the mech’s parts appear automatically. Right-click any part of the assembled structure to spawn the rideable mech and climb in.

While piloting, use WASD to move, Space to jump, right-click to fire the laser, and left-click to launch a rocket. Aim by looking in the direction you want to fire. Use Sprint to exit (the mech HUD shows CTRL EXIT). The mech switches to rear third-person view while you ride and restores your previous view when you dismount.

The laser needs no ammunition. To fire rockets from the mech, carry Mech Rockets. You can craft a Rocket Launcher for use on foot with and craft four Mech Rockets at a time with .

Overview

The Blockbreaker Laser Mech is a deployable vehicle for moving through terrain, jumping obstacles, breaking blocks with a laser, and firing explosive rockets. Place its item as a structure, then right-click the structure to turn it into a mech and ride it.

What It Adds

The mech structure occupies a 4×4×4 area. Its parts are placed in spaces that are air or replaceable, so choose a clear spot for a complete assembly.

How To Use

Pilot the mech

• WASD: Move forward, backward, and sideways.
• Space: Jump while on the ground.
• Look direction: Aim the mech’s weapons.
• Right-click: Fire the laser.
• Left-click: Launch a rocket, if you have Mech Rockets in your inventory.
• Sprint: Dismount.

The on-screen HUD displays your speed, heading, and controls.

Fire the laser

The laser shoots up to 28 blocks and breaks the first eligible block it hits. In Survival, the block can drop its usual items; in Creative, it breaks without drops. The laser has a short cooldown between shots.

Fire rockets

While piloting, left-click to launch a Mech Rocket in the direction you’re aiming. Rockets explode when they hit something, and firing has a brief cooldown.

On foot, hold the Rocket Launcher and use it to fire. It consumes one Mech Rocket per shot, has its own cooldown, and can be used again as long as you have ammunition.

Crafting And Obtaining

The mech, Rocket Launcher, and Mech Rockets can be crafted using the recipes in Quickstart. The mech recipe uses a saddle, diamond, piston, redstone, and iron blocks. The launcher uses iron ingots, a dispenser, and redstone; its ammunition recipe produces four rockets. The mech item, launcher, and rockets are also available in the Creative Combat inventory.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Movement: The mech can move in all directions and jump to clear terrain.
• Block-breaking laser: Aimed shots target the first eligible block along the beam.
• Explosive rockets: Both the piloted mech and handheld launcher can fire rockets; each shot uses one carried rocket.
• Deploying and mounting: Placing the mech creates its parts. Right-clicking a part removes the structure and spawns the rideable mech.
